also i don't have the dumptube running down the engine bay.
Just looking at the graph I would agree, that turbo supports more power than that, so its not like the turbo should be falling off its compressor map.

most likely a combo of a clogged cat (if its clogged) and the dumptube exhausting hot exhaust right back into the compressor of the turbo.

sounds like you have a fine tuner...fix your issues and bring it back to him. it's not his fault you brought him what you did.

wow look at the TQ failing.

get that hot exhaust gas out of your engine bay, remove the cat, and retry.

lol, the torque curve is more like a torque mountain with cliffs on both sides.

yeah that torque is good at peak. the reason the power is so low is because the torque falls off so hard after peak. id like to see the timing tables on that one. the cat i most likely a large problem but you have other issues to lose almost 70ft/lbs between 5700ish-8K.

if you can get that thing to hold torque flat to redline it should make 240ish

Just try open down pipe on the street, let it rip once or twice. If it pulls good on the top end, then the cat was your problem.
Definitely need dump tube though.
